ALR files as a NullSessionShare. This allows the workstations to have easy access to the shared folder without providing login credentials. To do so, create a name for the shared folder, and add the name to the value NullSessionShares located in the following registry key on the NetShield server where Alert Manager is located: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services LanmanServer Parameters See your NetShield documentation for more information about configuring Alert Manager. Because a NullSessionShare can result in a security vulnerability, McAfee strongly recommends that you take advantage of all of the following security features available for Windows NTFS systems including: · granting clients only "write" privileges to the shared folder. · granting the Alert Manager server privileges for searching, reading, and deleting only. Setting Policy for On-Access Scanning · establishing a quota for the number of messages that the shared folder can accept. · using the NTFS auditing feature. Click Apply to save your report policy settings. The settings are transmitted to the ePolicy Orchestrator agents for enforcement the next time that the agents request new policies and tasks from the server. See the ePolicy Orchestrator Administrator's Guide for information about agent-server communication. WARNING: If you do not click Apply, you settings are ignored. Exclusion options Many of the files stored on your computer are not vulnerable to virus infection. Having the on-access scanner examine these files can take a long time and produce few results. You can reduce the time the scanner spends looking at each file you modify by restricting the scanner to examine only susceptible file types. You can also tell the scanner to ignore files or entire folders that you know cannot become infected. The exclusion list identifies which items--disks, folders, or individual files-- you want to exclude from scanning activities. By default, the scanner does not examine files that are in the Recycle Bin because Windows will not run items stored there. This item appears in the exclusions list when you first open the property page. Each entry in the exclusions list displays the path to the item, notes whether the module will also exclude any nested folders, and explains whether the application will exclude the item when it scans files, when it scans your hard disk boot sector, or both. To choose Exclusion options, follow these steps: 1. Click the Exclusions tab (Figure 3-7 on page 44. ) + Administrator's Guide 43 Setting Policy for On-Access Scanning Figure 3-7. On-Access Scan Options -- Exclusions property page 2. Deselect Inherit to change the product's current configuration settings. See the NOTE on page 32 for more information about Inheritance. Use the Add button to add a file or folder to the list; or use the Edit and Remove buttons to change or remove existing items in this list.
